OB/GYN final Flashcards
(653 cards)
advantages/disadvantages of radiation treatment in cervical cancer
advantage: able to use direct appliation of radiation
disadvantage: can damage the vaginal tissue so is reserved for older women
five tocolytic drugs
calcium channel blockers
magnesium sulfate
beta sympathomimetics
oxytocin
alcohol
why are submucosal fibroids concerning
because they interfere with the smooth muscle contraction of the uterus, preventing vasoconstriction and allowing for heavy bleeding
treatment of ovarian torsion
spontaneous revision with knee to chest position
laproscopy to untwist and fixate, oophorectomy if the ovary is necrotic
what is the effect of postmenopausal HRT on breast cancer
estrogen + progestin increases risk, estrogen alone does not
compare and contrast open, fine needle, and core needle biopsies for breast masses
open is the most reliable
fine needle is the least invasive but has a higher false negative rate and needs US or Xray guidance
core needle has fewer false negatives
what is the most common bone disorder in the US
involutional osteoporosis
gynecological menopause symptoms
amenorrhea
vaginal dryness
sexual dysfunction
patient presents with postive immunochemistry with an uneffaced cervix 1cm dilated and no regular contractions
what is the Dx
preterm PROM
mild preeclampsia
BP > 140/90 on two or more occasions 6 hours or more apart after 20 weeks
proteinura 300-2000 mg/24 hours
commonly have edema
four strategies to avoid hyperemesis
early intervention
outpatient IV hydration
corticosteroids (medrol)
antiemetics (compazine, zofran)
two characteristics of ovarian dysgenesis
early loss of oocytes
failure of germ cell migration
differentiate between CIN and CIS
CIN = cervical intrepithelial neoplasia, can be mild, moderate, or severe dysplasia
CIS = carcinoma in situ
menopause will cause a dramatic reduction in estrogen leading to an increase in FSH
what organ systems will this effect
reproductive
bone
CNS
CV
metabolic
skin
urinary tract
if estrogen is low, what other lab values should be high?
if they are low what is indicated
FSH and LH
there is a loss of GnRH from the hypothalamus
patient pregnant at 24 weeks complains of dyspnea. PE shows midsystolic murmur along the left sternal border, PMI displaced to the left, jugular venous distension
how concerned are you about this patient
only mildly concerned, all of these symptoms can be normal sequela of pregnancy
T/F quantitative HCG can help determine gestational age
false, HCG levels are too variable, unless the value is really low (indicates very early)
management of a threatened SAB
compassion
ultrasound
reassurance
arrange for follow up (1-2 weeks)
T/F screening is strong correlated with breast cancer survival
false, there is only a small increase in survival, a lot what we are picking out are not aggressively malignant similar to prostate cancer
what is the benefit treating bacterial vaginosis to manage preterm PROM
there isn’t any support
DES defined
uses
diethylstilbesterol, synthetic estrogen used to treat or prevent miscarriage, low birth weight, poor OB outcome
anencephaly
failure of the brain to develop
management options for hypothalamic amenorrhea
reduction in stress, gain weight, exogeneous GnRH pump, exogenous FSH and LH, birth control pills
cancer associated with BRCA2
breast cancer
ovarian cancer
pancreatic cancer
prostate
